I shouldn't reply before Tom, but I'm on a roll tonight ... 


Because Szigeti's technique by the late 50s was quite shaky, it took dozens of edits, sometimes within a run, to keep his violin part 'in tune'. So far as I know, the Brahms was never issued on Golden Imports, and perhaps for that same reason, on Mercury American CD. The only LP/CD issues are the Japanese ones taken from two-track mix-down tape.
